Small Hearts Can Do Big Things!

Do any of you have this sweater from Old Navy? I really like it, but it has that hot pink-y, fushia colored heart that I've never been able to get past. I don't know why, but that weird color of pink just irks me. Ya know? So anyway, after months of avoiding this sweater, I finally did something about it.

And now I "LOVE" it--haha!

I'm hilarious.

(P.S. It's NOT orange! Silly camera. It's light peach.)

I feel kind of silly writing a post about this, but for some reason this little tiny change brought me all kinds of happiness! I even wore it two days in a row afterwards. (Don't tell!) And besides, I needed an excuse to talk to you guys. :O)

How did I do it? Just how it looks! I traced the heart with tracing paper (OK, a paper napkin) and cut out another one that was slightly larger using a light peach tank top that Paige grew out of. Then I used crochet thread (because I don't have embroidery thread) to hand stitch it to my sweater. So easy! Why didn't I think of it sooner?

Take care! I really do have some posts coming soon.

Love,

Disney

ok seriously if I could just DITTO everything you said! I say the sweater too but avoided it like the plague do to that hideous hot pink heart!! I'm SO loving the peach heart! It matches way better and really just looks way cuter! Wonder if I can still find that sweater...?

Love that you used what you had on hand. I'm always doing things a little "different" because I'm either too lazy, or too cheap to run to the store and get the "correct" item. And my makeshift stuff works just as well.

I do have this same sweater! And I happen to love the pink, but this is way cute... I kind of want to do this, just for the different texture thing. Makes it look so special, instead of just an ON piece!

Oh, how it makes my heart happy to learn you've got some more posts for us coming our way!

Disney, I have been wanting to make a couple of Austrian Valances for my kids bedroom windows but I do not know how to, plus I am a beginner with the whole sewing business. But anyway, I found these directions online, but I do not understand them: http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_5013357_make-austrian-valance.html . I thought if you'd like to make one also and post about it for all of us dummies, I would love it sooo much! Of course you don't have to, but I thought I'd ask.

so if i haven't commented already (don't think i have) i am a huge fan of your blog! you have such cute ideas and i love reading your tutorials for ideas. i'd love it if you could check out my blog at venturingintodiy.blogspot.com. it'd be lovely if you could follow me back as well!

That is so cute!! you could have worn it several more days in a row. Just come up with a way to change out the color of the heart each day! HA! I really liked this idea. I have not bought things that I liked because ONE color was not my favorite. I will try this!!! HAPPY EASTER.
